fake harper rookie auto??? - barrassohof35 - 04-23-2013
just cruisin the bay and i found this rookie auto. something looks fishy though, the auto seems different, coloring different, i'm wondering if this is fake. its also ironic its a psa 10. i'm getting more and more skeptical of cards anymore, too easy to fake, it's getting to the point that if i don't pull it i don't want it. what do you guys think, here's the link:

Its real...its his 2011 Bowman Prospects Autograph. The Topps Certified Autograph Issue print on the front of the card is good enough for me. Just curious why you suspect it to be fake?

ok thanks guys. i just thought the auto looked very different from other examples. the H seems really different. I mean Harper has changed his graph a lot but the H seems very wide compared to a lot of others I've seen.

looks like virtually every other 2011 bowman auto of his that I've seen - and not as light/broken as a lot of them from that set

It looks fine to me, I think the lighting is what got you confused about the coloring, but yes its all blue ink and its real

it is real!! i have that exact same card. from what i understand and heard, when he first started signing his cards, he used to sign his whole name. now its just BH.

beckett had an article a while back about the progression of harpers auto. older autos are like the one listed in this auction. newer autos are just "BH" here's some examples as i pulled these both personally:
